It prints super-fine details on chips down to an 8mm size. In non-computer lingo, that’s seriously small and seriously impressive.
Either people are easily impressed and I should be charging for my Sharpie services, or they got their units muddled up.
I used to bullseye womprats back home and they’re not much bigger than 8mm.
It’s probably meant to be 8 nm
Yes.
The TWINSCAN EXE 5000 has a resolution of 8 nanometers.

Really?
Don’t be a dick sir Adam. Not everyone knows what a nanometer is.
That’s fair, I was being snarky and it was unwarranted.
Please accept my sincere apologies.
Nice. Every time I see someone being reasonable and admitting a mistake on the internet it cheers me up a bit.
Shall we remove the very essence of the wild in our conquest of the domesticated animal? If sir Adam has dickishness in his heart, who are we to alter the core of his very being?
It is mans struggle with his inner dickishness that sets him apart from the animals. This dualitilty sharpens his faculties. It is not the lack of dickishness but the ability to overcome it that makes the man.
…also, I was being a bit of a dick there.
Well the current cutting edge process node produces components less than 5 nanometers in diameter, so probably just mislabeled units. They might have confused nanometers and micrometers
Yeah my printer at home prints smaller than 8mm lol
We are.
I saw this mentioned somewhere on Lemmy and it must have been the first LEGO set that genuinely piqued my interest since I was a literal child.
If they offered models for cool industrial machines, I’m sure they’d find a dedicated audience.
There are some alternate brick companies making this kind of thing:
Probably a few bits and pieces on rebrickable too.
Intel ordered 100,000 units and said we’ll make it work
ASML shouldn’t have focused on Legos* in the first place. They clearly should have been making ASMR videos. ASML ASMR. It’s just so obvious.
*Bite me, they’re Legos.
As a LEGO System bricks enjoyer, I also call them legos. When I need to blow my nose and the box is too far away, I ask someone to pass the kleenexes. If I have a headache, I ask for some asprins. I still watch movies on videotapes, and I own a few thermoses. I can’t wait to google some more genericized trademarks on Duck Duck Go after I finish typing this.
-I pick up a pail of water from the river- “Look at all the rivers I have!”
-I pick up three intel CPUs- “I have several Intels.”
-I hold up a radio- “This bad boy can play so many Mariah Careys!”
-I open a box of chicken fingers- “Do you want some chickens?”
-A single bolt falls out of my pocket- “Oops, I dropped a car! Where did that come from?”
-I pull out my phone and look up where that type of bolt is used- "Perhaps the internets can tell me where this goes. Maybe if I read some reddits or watch some youtubes I’ll know.
-After looking a while, I put away my phone- “It doesn’t look like an engine, so it can’t be that important. I’m just going to go home and play nintendos. I hope I don’t slip on the snows!”
Bite my asses, LEGO is a system.
I don’t care if it’s a system. I grew up in the 1980s. If you have more than one, it’s Legos and the little people are Lego Men. Even the women. They’re Lady Lego Men.
Also, they are all supposed to have blank smiley faces. It all went downhill when they stopped having blank smiley faces.
We now have multiple lemmies discussing this. How many IKEAs do you have in your house?
How many Taco Bells have you eaten in the last month? I don’t care if it’s a restaurant, if you have more than one it’s Taco Bells.
Mostly agrees on the smilies though. Basic identifying features like masks or glasses can work, but expressions and likenesses to movies are harbingers of dooms. Just give me a guy, a few wheels, a few doors, and a few hundred bricks, slopes, and plates and I’ll be happys. I don’t need all the unique bits that only fit one way.
Dude, why do you care? It’s a giant corporation that only exists for you to shovel money at it. The whole ‘making kids happy’ concept ended when they started selling stuff for hundreds of dollars.
They don’t care about you, so maybe don’t care so much about them.
It’s not a problem unique to a dutch toy company, but that instance is by far the most common. Feel free to shit on companies as much as you want, but please don’t trample the English language as you do, it’s broken enough as it is.
One brick is one lego. More than one brick is multiple legos. I’m not going to call them LEGO™® Construction Tools or whatever the hell they expect me to call them now.
I don’t bite clowns. It’s Lego.
How many bottles of Kragl do you own, President Business?
